Description
A high-energy, low-pressure interactive improv experience designed to quickly get teams connecting, tapping into their creativity, and producing plenty of aha's and ha-ha's.
Participants will be led through several simple, short, and science-backed games and exercises focused on improv and storytelling techniques. The exercises will vary from putting them in pairs, small groups, to the entire team. And the session will culminate with the signature Speechless format, where participants will improvise presentations they've never seen before. This format has been licensed to over 20 countries and has be been done thousands of times in various companies and universities. It can be done as a group team building exercise or as a competitive, judged and scored tournament.
Activities may include:
-
Rapid-fire word association and storytelling games
-
Group challenges that encourage spontaneity and collaboration
-
Light speaking prompts with playful constraints
-
Quick team-based competitions
This session is ideal as:

An event kickoff
-

A shorter engagement within a larger program
The experience is designed to be accessible, inclusive, and immediately engaging for all personality types.
